I am dealing with an extremely large (2 gig) dataset and wish to list
just the first case that meets a set of criteria. There are about 200
separate sets of criteria (county and precinct values).
Thus, I'd like a command that does something like:
list name address1 address2 county precinct city state
if [first one of] county=VALUE & precinct=VALUE
repeated about 200 times.
I could do this with
sample 1 if CRITERIA
but that seems needless complex, especially since all I want is the
first case that meets 200 combinations of county and precinct.
Thanks
